gitcross

Gitcross is a new variation on Picross that includes collecting github users' identicons, and seeing other players do the same in real-time.

Description

Gitcross is a new variation on Picross (aka Nonogram), an addictive logic game from Japan. Each puzzle is made up of one or more GitHub Identicons from some of our favorite GitHub users. Complete puzzles to unlock them as trophies!

Note on the right sidebar you can see other players playing gitcross at the same time. If you mouseover them, you can see their current selection of trophies. The list of other users and their trophies are updated in real-time.

the game is well done. I manage to win something like 15 trophies or more. I've probably played something similar on Nintendo DS. I really appreciate the help section.the color are beautiful. however, I don't see here why Node is useful for this use case.

I don't know if you noticed, but we generate the puzzles server side, in Nodejs, and are using the hackathon sponsored real-time service GoInstant to show the currently playing players and their progress, all synced in real-time. Are you saying that any app that depends on this service deserves 1 star across the board?

Hi Jon. I'm sorry for you. I don't understand, I would like put a better score as your game deserves it, but I cant. don't know why ? may be a mouse virus? oh, and your friend Reza could have the same problem 'cause he gave me a 1/1/1/1 just before. Anyway thanks for your explaination about your Nodejs usage.

Nice and clean picross implementation. Picross + github + multiplayer sounds promising, but simply collecting identicons and seeing what other players have collected is not quite enough. Could have been a lot more fun!
